It's all Fairy Tales and Princesses

Fighting an awful flu so I am farther behind than usual.  Cammie has been busy with her activities and she is loving school and really enjoying being with the other kids.  Her last swimming class for this session was today and she got a little certificate and ribbon so she was thrilled.  She has a week off and then moves up to the next class!  She is getting a lot braver in gymnastics and is doing well in that.  We are going to try soccer soon so that should be lots of fun.  We got our taxes done and sent out so just waiting for that windfall to come in and be spent!  Joe has been taking ISO class and doing a lot of research on the solar panels.  It looks like we are going to give that a go this year. 

So much for being organized

I feel like every time I get a step ahead I fall back a whole flight. Cammie has been busy with school, gymnastics and swimming. In her last swimming class they were learning how to climb out on the wall and she just hoisted herself right up with no help. Yikes! She loves FaceTime and chatting on that. We had a knock down drag out temper tantrum last week before school. We had gone to swimming and then home for an hour to eat lunch and get ready for school. Well apparently that's not going to work, I am going to try taking her to lunch and maybe the library to spend time but I think as long as we keep moving she will be ok.
Last Thursday we had an eye appointment on kent island so we went to Big Bats after since Jennifer was working, Matt brought the kids up and then later the Brown ladies all showed up. It was lots of fun, none of us wanted to leave.
Friday we dropped our taxes off at chucks and we are hoping to hear soon that we are getting a buttload of money back. While we were there Brian Pennewill stopped by with Aunt Karen so we got to see them for couple minutes.
Sunday we met Tim, Steph and Tanner at Lisbon Vfc for breakfast. YUM! There was a bunch of people there. Then we went home to try to nap before our foray into the city to see Disney on Ice. Good lord, we followed Timmy and Steph and got stuck in traffic by the convention center so by the time we got in and got the tickets the show was starting. Missi, Mike, Morgan and Owen were already in the seats. Cammie dressed as Ariel, Morgan was Cinderella and Tanner was Belle. They were so cute. The show was pretty good, there are some things I would have changed and it was crazy crowded. You couldn't even stand in line for drinks or food. It was a good time though and then we ate at Becks.
Cammie was really good throughout dinner, I think the stone/marble jar is working somewhat. We started that after the big meltdown last week.
Today we had a guy from Aurora Energy come to talk to us about solar panels. He was really good and hopefully will come up with some not horrifying numbers.
Joe has to work on Valentines Day so we had our dinner the other night, shrimp, tuna steaks and lobster tail. YUM!

Yes, Cammie went to Disneyworld again!

I figured I'd better get on the ball and update all the Cammie fans before they riot.  Here goes!!

January 19th the dogs went to the groomers for a spa day and we went to 'nastics and then hit Sams Club to stock up before our membership ran out then we all had appointments with Ms Sue!  On the 22nd, Jessica, Debby and Jayden came over to watch the football game with Joe and Kristen joined us also since she was spending the night.  We had yummy snacks and Joe made taco salad for dinner.  The next morning (23rd) we got up disgustingly early and left for the airport with Bruce Bennett.  Our plane took off at 0630. YUCK!  But Cammie fell asleep while we were taxi-ing down the runway and slept most of the flight.  We landed half an hour early and had to wait about ten minutes for an open gate but other than that the flight was pretty uneventful.  We were at the Magic Kingdom by 1030!  We spent a long day there but had lots of fun and the weather was wonderful.  It stayed wonderful all week, sunny and in the 80's.  I did not want to come home!!  Tuesday we did Hollywood studios and Wednesday Downtown Disney and then Magic Kingdom.  We finally got to see the show on the castle and we watched the fireworks which Cammie loved.  Thursday Cammie and I hung around the resort for a while and she played on the playground, we took a walk and had a picnic lunch.  Then we went to EPCOT for a little while.  Had to get some fish n chips. YUM!!  Friday morning we got up and headed for the airport to come home and it was a terrible flight.  But we landed half an hour early again and were home by lunch time!

Saturday evening Cammie had a sleep over with Aunt Donna so that Joe and I could go to his shift party at the Phoenix in Ellicott City.  That was lots of fun, good company and good food. 

Joe has been working very hard on the hall bathroom and Cammie has been helping when she can.  She wants a princess bathroom so I better start looking for a paint color and decorations. 

Monday the 30th she was back to school and glad to see all of her friends.  I got a ton of errands done and saved a bunch on groceries at Weis.  I watched Extreme Couponing the night before and got motivated again!!  Tuesday Cammie started swimming lessons again and she did really well.  Then we picked up Brady for school and I went to Walmart. It was crazy crowded in there and I forgot half the stuff that was on my list.  Ugh...  Wednesday we had a playdate with Brady at the playground and the Greenspring lady Eva came over to check on the hot water heater and show us some programming but it turned out she needs someone to show her so the installer needs to come back.  Eva is so nice but we are so over Greenspring.   We will not be using them for our future solar needs.  Today Cammie had another swimming lesson and then Gymnastics.  So hoping it wears her out!! Last night she fell asleep on the couch a little before 8 and we got some tub time in.  Joe cleaned it yesterday and replaced the filters.  It was so nice last night!!!  Now it's time to get some organizing and cleaning done!!
